Bedtime Conversation

Tonight as we were finishing bedtime prayers:

Nathan: "And I want God to bless Joseph and Luke and my whole class — except not the girls. They have terrible backpacks."

Me: (trying not to let my face reveal my amusement) "What do you mean? It's okay if they have different backpacks."

Nathan: "Well, Ana and Hailey Grace have Tinkerbell on their backpacks, and I just don't like Tinkerbell. They have cute, pretty stuff on them — and I don't like cute, pretty stuff. Except for Jolee's backpack has mouses on it and different colors, and that's okay...So, not the girls."

.........

Oh, dear. Sometimes I think this boy has enough testosterone for ten! Did I mention that he asked to have a Monster Jam birthday party this year?

Dear Santa,

Just put a bow on these moments, please.

Gratefully,
Carrie

P.S. Looks like you've been giving style tips to a certain little someone...

Nathan's Nativity

It is a little known fact that the Magi and shepherds stopped by Luigi's Casa della Tires on their way to meet the baby Jesus. And, judging by the proximity of the Christmas star, I'd say Bethlehem is just down the interstate from Radiator Springs. Who knew?
